It is hereby declared (a) that there is a serious shortage in urban, suburban and rural areas of moderate rental housing and moderate cost housing for families of veterans of World War II and of other citizens of the state of low and moderate income, endangering the health of such families and constituting a menace to the health, safety, morals, welfare and comfort of inhabitants thereof; (b) that it is in the public interest that work on housing projects for such families be commenced as soon as possible in order to alleviate the housing shortage which now constitutes an emergency, and that the building of private homes for such families be encouraged by the use of public funds as mortgage loans at a low rate of interest; (c) that state financial assistance in the form of loans to eligible developers at low interest rates, guarantees of notes of housing authorities, grants to housing authorities or nonprofit corporations, or a combination thereof, is needed to make housing accommodations available for such families at rentals within their reach; (d) that it is in the public interest, wherever possible, to construct housing projects in existing neighborhoods up to twenty-five units; and that the necessity in the public interest for the provisions of this part and the inclusion of housing projects for such families is declared to be a matter of legislative determination.
(1949 Rev., S. 948; 1949, S. 443d; 1961, P.A. 447, S. 2; P.A. 78-304, S. 1, 22; P.A. 84-493, S. 3, 9.)
